 #1 Moutain Biking... Posted 27/05/2005 @ 12:27 |

Looking out the window and this Bank Holiday weather looks just about ideal for Mountain Biking! 
North York Moors, Pennines, Dales, Peaks, Wolds, Lakes.....anywhere as long as its not Norfolk... 
If anyone is interested getting together reply on this thread.
Cheers

Went out on the bikes with a couple of mates yesterday and it was ideal...just a shame we're so unfit 
Have a good one if you go out...I'll be mainly working all weekend  |

yep, the weather was amazing last weekend. Big GnarlyBoarders mission over to the Brecon Beacons - 22 of us!
If anyone's ridden The Gap trail over there before - how good's that downhill?!!! Madness. 
Rode Cwm Carn on the way back too. Love that!
Plenty photos here
Riding this weekend - most likely down south - Dorking/Leith Hill in Surrey.

if you go South Wales way at all, can well recommend the trails at Afan Argoed... (sorry, can't remember the names of the trails!). Think there's a big new visitors centre type thing just been built and there's some pretty awesome single track... almost as good as here!... but not quite! 
edit: just had a thought, anyone fancy a GoneBoarding GoneBiking trip out here to Morzine this summer? will do a cracking deal if people fancy it! |

Ah, lots of people ask about that bike - it's a custom-built and custom-designed titanium frame (that guy in 28 and 29 designed it). is a sort of beach-cruiser/old-skool retro/early days of mtb type machine.
and finally number 73, pretty lady, velly clean, she good for you mister. yeh, that's Bob, one of our lot This was her first weekend of proper riding and she loved it. |

Lurvly.... very nice lady!!
Decision time, last few minutes at work before the weekend,
Got a couple of pubs in mind for drinking and camping back garden nearby - but as with all good things the hardest thing is deciding which ones you won't be stopping at and trying to justify it over the others.
Can anyone advise on the following?
"Golden Rule" - Legendary name, good ale, not sure on Campsite facilties tho!!
"Drunken Duck" again legendary name, but out in the sticks, own brewery and probably some camping!
"Wheatsheaf" tried and tested pub in Lorton,(N.Lakes) nr Cockrmouth for a night out!
"Old Dungeon Gyhll" up Langdale - so much choice for ales, nearby campsite, but unfortunately full...
Help needed.....  |
